Based on the incredible true story of one woman’s journey to the exotic world of nineteenth-century Siam, the riveting novel that inspired The King and I. In 1862, recently widowed and with two small children to support, British schoolteacher Anna Leonowens agrees to serve as governess to the children of King Mongkut of Siam (present-day Thailand), unaware that her years in the royal palace will change not only her own life, but also the future of a nation. Her relationship with King Mongkut, famously portrayed by Yul Brynner in the classic film The King and I, is complicated from the start, pitting two headstrong personalities against each other: While the king favors tradition, Anna embraces change. As governess, Anna often finds herself at cross-purposes, marveling at the foreign customs, fascinating people, and striking landscape of the kingdom and its harems, while simultaneously trying to influence her pupils—especially young Prince Chulalongkorn—with her Western ideals and values. Years later, as king, this very influence leads Chulalongkorn to abolish slavery in Siam and introduce democratic reform based on the ideas of freedom and human dignity he first learned from his beloved tutor. This captivating novel brilliantly combines in-depth research—author Margaret Landon drew from Siamese court records and Anna’s own writings—with richly imagined details to create a lush portrait of 1860s Siam. As a Rodgers & Hammerstein Broadway musical and an Academy Award–winning film, the story of Anna and the King of Siam has enchanted millions over the years. It is a gripping tale of cultural differences and shared humanity that invites readers into a vivid and sensory world populated by unforgettable characters.

Another one of the Synoptic Gospels, Luke takes another view of the life of Jesus on Earth. Although he tells many of the same stories, some of them offer a different point of view than Matthew or Mark which gives us a clearer image of the ministry of the Lord and Saviour Jesus. Many different topics are discussed in this exposition such as the virgin birth, the priesthood of Christ, the temptation of Jesus, the last days and the passion narrative. All this helps us to understand the gospel story better.

Although the ideal of companionate marriage has gradually been established in Hong Kong, demographic trends from the 1980s reflect greater marital and family instability. In the years to come, adult fulfilment is likely to be found in various ways: through marriage, divorce, remarriage, or the single state. Each of these has its own potentials, tensions, and prospects for growth and development. Each offers different though viable life styles through which people can develop in adulthood. These trends call for a rethinking of marriage and of our expectation that marriage and the family bond will continue to serve as the relational context of adult living. This collection on marital work offers the means to rethink marriage by examining the ways husbands and wives cope with the demands and dilemmas of their relationship, from diverse parenting, forgiveness, coping with childhood abuse, infidelity, disenchantment and distancing, to uncoupling in divorce, and re-coupling in remarriage. Each chapter addresses aspects of these issues, with a focus on the recovery, reinvention and reconstruction of the self to meet the many challenges arising from the relationship and from life circumstances.

In 1993, Sheila Rauch Kennedy received a letter from the Boston Catholic Archdiocese announcing that her former husband, Congressman Joseph Kennedy, was seeking an annulment of their marriage. If the Church granted the annulment, the marriage, which had lasted twelve years, would be rendered nonexistent -- not simply ended, as was stated in the divorce decree, but invalid from the start. And their two sons would be regarded as children of an unsanctified union. Joseph Kennedy needed the annulment to remarry within the Church, and he encouraged his ex-wife to ignore the details. Stunned by the hypocrisy of the process and the betrayal of trust it involved, Sheila Rauch Kennedy was determined to defend the legitimacy of her former marriage. Shattered Faith is the fascinating chronicle of that struggle, and of what Kennedy uncovered about the uses and frequency of annulments in the United States. Interweaving her own experiences with those of other women whose trust in the Church was shattered by annulment, she tells a story that will surprise, anger, and move readers of every faith.

Thirty-year old husband, father and teacher Daniel Thomas is suffering an emotional crisis, one which threatens his happy marriage, the stability of his family, the sanity of his five-year old daughter, his livelihood and career, and the ultimately the salvation of his very soul. It is not a mid-life crisis, since he is too young to experience that type of calamity, but far worse, a crisis of faith. For years, Daniel has abandoned his faith in God or has God abandoned him? His crisis of faith reaches its zenith on Christmas Eve when his verbal tirades lead to another argument with his beloved wife, Mary, a devout Christian who refuses to allow her husbands doubts to destroy their marriage or their family. After a tragic accident early Christmas morning, Daniel becomes even more certain of the non-existence of God. His spiraling descent into despair results in the elimination of anything that involves God. This overwhelming bitterness drives a wedge that breaks apart the relationship with his mother-in-law, results in emotional and psychological problems with his daughter, Faith, who claims to be visited by a mysterious man, and an outburst in his school classroom that pits him against a powerful school board president that threatens his job. During all this turmoil in his life, Daniel encounters a series of incredible events that forces him to question all his doubts. His journey from tragedy to redemption, from disbelief to faith, and from emotional upheavals to peace and contentment is an inspiring story for anyone who has lost his faith. Where Are All The Miracles? resolves all the questions posed by all those Doubting Thomases that from time to time invade our mind, body and soul.
